“Noah” star Jennifer Connelly said any controversy surrounding the Darren Aronofksy film was purely “speculation” from those who hadn’t seen it yet.

“There was controversy,” Connelly told Jimmy Kimmel during an interview (above) on Monday night. “I think that the controversy was really, as you’ve eluded to, it was speculation. It was debate amongst people who haven’t seen the film yet.”

When Kimmel inquired what the root of the controversy was, Connelly steered clear of an explanation in order to avoid being labeled a hypocrite.

“Now I’m speculating about what people were speculating about. See what he’s trying to get me to do? I’m speculating about speculation,” Connelly joked. “Now people who were creating controversy who are seeing it, I think are supporting the movie and embracing it.”
